Everything is bigger in Texas!

Everything's bigger in Texas!



First-time visitors to the "Lone Star State" might think that's just an idle boast until they travel through the state's 266,807 square miles. Where to start is usually the hardest decision as this state offers everything from world championship rodeos to an international space center.



Dallas



Dallas, located in northeastern Texas, is a good jumping-off point since many areas of interest lie south of here. But before you leave town, don't miss its world-class museums and other attractions.



Dallas' most-visited historic site is The Sixth Floor Museum, which chronicles the life, times and tragic assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.


Forth Worth

Next, grab your cowboy boots and head for the neighboring city of Fort Worth for a taste of Texas history. In the late 1800s, more than four million head of cattle were driven through the city that eventually became nicknamed "Cowtown."

Tour the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District and the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame to learn about the heritage of the great cowboy era. As an added bonus, witness America's only daily cattle drive as Texas Longhorns are driven right through the heart of the Stockyards.
